    Introduction Raman Scattering, a fundamental phenomenon in the world of light-matter interactions, provides a powerful tool for scientists to explore the nature of materials. Discovered by Sir C.V. Raman in 1928, this scattering event involves a change in the energy (and thus wavelength) of light when it interacts with a material. The study of Raman…

    Introduction Brillouin scattering is a phenomenon in physics involving the interaction of light with material waves within a medium. This interaction causes the light to be scattered and its frequency to shift, an effect known as the Brillouin shift. Basics of Light Scattering When light is incident on a medium, it can be absorbed, transmitted,…
